The goblin shark, Mitsukurina owstoni, is a rarely seen species of shark. It is notable for its long beak-like rostrum projecting forward of the jaws, its long, protruding jaws, and its pink color. When the jaws are retracted, the shark resembles a pink grey nurse shark, Carcharias taurus, with an unusually long nose. The goblin shark is the sole known living member of the family Mitsukurinidae; the relatively plentiful fossil record includes another two dozen or so species in two (extinct) genera, Scapanorhynchus and Anomotodon.
